The last few days has been CRAZY.

I’ve received about 500MBs worth of email and I’m still going
through all of them…

If you’d like to check out my  latest WoW videos and tutorials,
plus read the story of how I teamed up with one of the biggest
names in the game and learn the secrets to playing WoW at the
highest possible level, then go and read THIS:

Here’s 1 question I get very often from our JMTC subscribers and
very recently, some readers who have signed up for WoW Crusher.

***WoW QUESTION FROM A READER***

Hey Markco!

Your WoW Crusher system is 100% pure magic. Ever since I logged
into the member’s area I have been using your tutorials to excel in
Heroics, Arena and Rated Battlegrounds. I even made 100K yesterday
with your advice on Twilight Jasmine and various other herbs. Your
information is really good, and I look forward to even more success
in the future!

And now to the question, I’ve been starting to level multiple alts
in order to utilize the strategies in your guide to their full
potential, but it is a very time-consuming and more importantly
expensive pastime, using gold every couple or so levels in order to
keep in line with the gear to level faster. Is there anything I can
do to lessen the levelling impact on my bank account?

***MY COMMENTS***

It’s great to hear your positive experiences with the WoW Crusher
guide. Your feedback mirrors a lot of the replies I’ve been getting
from other subscribers and it really makes my day.

Now onto your question, if anything, I detest leveling with a
passion. It’s a painstakingly long and not to mention boring
process. Sure with all the new heirlooms and guild benefits,
leveling has become a significantly faster and less tiresome
process, but with each expansion you get hit with an extra 5-10
levels that you have to repeat again on some other toon. As a rule
of thumb, there is something I must make sure that I’ve doing while
leveling, which is making gold.

Here are some tips that will ensure that you will cash in and not
lose gold from leveling your alts.

Questing Post Level 68

At level 68 you should be heading into Wrath of the Lich King
zones, it doesn’t matter how you have been leveling in the past,
questing is now the way to go if you want to make money (it’s also
probably one of the most efficient ways if you know what you’re
doing also), each quest will give you anywhere between 5-20 gold
reward and it really adds up over time

Do not spend Gold on Gear, EVER

Apart from heirlooms, I would advise that you NEVER buy gear while
you are leveling. There are plenty of options to acquire gear
during your leveling escapades, especially those sweet dungeon
drops and quest rewards which ensure that you are always stay ahead
of the leveling curve. Even if your gear currently sucks it won’t
make a huge difference to your performance and a swanky upgrade is
probably around the corner in the next dungeon you visit. In
summation, don’t do it.

Choose your leveling professions wisely
Don’t rush headfirst into this decision and take your time to
decide your leveling professions carefully.

I would recommend picking up mining and herbalism whilst you are on
your way to 85. Reason being low level mats are usually in high
demand for players leveling up new professions for their alts and
you can sell these mats for a huge profit. In fact, you can watch
some of our vids we’ve put up in the members area which teach you
how to rake in the big bucks with low level mats and monopolizing
your Auction House at the same time.

** QUESTION FROM ANOTHER WOW CRUSHER READER **

Whatsup Markco..
Let me start out by saying you are my saviour. I’ve been signed on
to your JMTC newsletters for 2 years running and signed up for a
spot in WoW Crusher at the first available opportunity.
It’s a stellar guide and I especially like your detailed write-ups
on each of the different classes as well as your high quality
videos.

Now that Mists of Pandaria is around the corner, my question for
you is what do you think of the new talent tree changes? Yay or Nay?

Cheers
Indy B

** MY RESPONSE **

Thanks for the kind words Indy, its people like you that fuel my
passion and I hope you enjoy next month’s WoW Crusher newsletters
and brand new videos we are planning to put up in the next couple
of days.

Now on to your question.

Just as Blizzard revamped the rules with Cataclysm, the new Talent
Tree changes in the Mists of Pandaria are going to completely
change the way we play the game. This is a total reworking of
the talent tree, in a sense that they are barely recognizable
anymore. Those complex talent trees that open up every 2 levels
have been removed, replaced with six separate choices spread across
the course of 90 levels.

Blizzard has mentioned that this is an attempt to eliminate
Cookie-Cutter builds and introduce some diversity in the game and
if that was their intention, this definitely adds new layers of
customization as wellas make it more fun and accessible to the
casuals, which is always good in my book.

Overall, I’m fairly satisfied with what’s been on display so far.
Do realize that its early days for the expansion and that anything
that’s been revealed so far could change at the drop of a hat, but
I’m feeling quite positive with the new direction Blizzard is
taking us in regards this aspect of gameplay.

I look forward to watching the lines blur between specs from each
class and the ability to combine new abilities that were not
available before, for example a shadow priest being able to cast
Power Infusion (which is a currently a Discipline Priest spell)

***QUESTION FROM A MEMBER***

Hey Markco,
I’ve been taking a look at your videos and guides in WoW Crusher
and so far they have been really helpful. I’ve actually improved my
DPS significantly in the past few days. Thanks! =)

My question for you is actually gold-related. The thing is , I’ve
been following the great tips and gold-making videos in the
member’s Area, and always have a blast using the AH strategies in
the WoW Crusher as well as the daily JMTC feed, but I’m looking for
more.

Thing is, once you’ve see the gold rolling in, you can’t help but
get addicted and want more! Are there any gold making strategies
you that are timeless and won’t go obsolete by the time the next
patch hits?

Thanks in advance!

***MY COMMENTS***

Your wish is my command! I really get ALOT of people asking for
more gold making strategies, I guess you can never really have
enough, although I really do advocate sticking with just a few
strategies that you are comfortable with, and just hitting those up
over and over again to make THOUSANDS of gold! But needless to say,
not all strategies are good for everyone… some people
are limited by time, server, or starting capital and because of
that I try to provide as many strategies
as possible. Here’s some other gold making strats and tips which I
hope you will all find useful!

1) Take advantage of player’s laziness.

This might sound devious but if you take some time to think about
it, there are A LOT of WoW players out there. No offense to my
readers, but how many times have you been too lazy to do something
and resorted to using the Auction House, whether it’s been for
questing, dailies, or crafting, I’m sure that there have been times
that you have resorted to the AH for a certain item or material
that you know is stocked up on some alt somewhere, but instead you
choose the AH to save you time at the cost of money.

This is exactly where smart gold makers come in, if you are able to
provide items which players want and earn a profit from there
(anything from cooking recipes to JC dailies gems) you can earn a
huge profit, personally I like to buy a lot of ore for cheap
(something like 30g a stack these days) and sell the gems which can
be used for JC dailies, and other rare gems on auction house, this
usually nets at least 100% return on investment and all i had to do
was prospect and post the stuff on AH.

2) The 80/20 Rule – I had to dig deep into my vault of classic JMTC
posts for this timeless AH gold-making strategy.Have you heard of
the 80/20 rule? It states that 80% of your results will come from
20% of your efforts, and it holds true across a number of areas,
even World of Warcraft.

Applying this rule in the WoW Auction House, basically you try to
find items that sell really well in your AH server and optimize
your trading by greatly reducing the number of items to look for
and focusing on goods you know will sell fast.

Stuff I did :-
Items which had little value at the auction house above the vendor
sell price, I started selling to vendors. Things like common
recipes and formulas worth 1 g 50 s at the AH and 60 s at a vendor.
Lowered my starting bids and buyouts so I would be at the cheap end
of the scale to sell things quicker.

If something was just occasionally in demand, saved it in the bank
until someone wanted to buy it in the trade channel.
Started using an alt for the purpose of only selling and trading
the AH. Doing so saves a lot of time.

These changes gave me more time to grind, quest and raid, which can
also be profitable and above all, fun. So keep in mind that 80% of
your gold will probably come from 20% of your auctions, and you
should focus on that 20% and not spend too much time fine-tuning
and trying to sell less profitable items.

Hope you find these tips useful guys, I’ll be tackling more
reader-related questions in the next few days, so hang tight!
And for those of you who haven’t hopped on the WoW Crusher
bandwagon…

Wutcha waiting for?

P.S Seriously, if I’ve learned anything, its that time is of the
essence and you can change how you play WoW forever RIGHT NOW and
get everything you could ever dream of…
